THE GRAND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ACQUIRES GUILDERLAND CENTER REHABILITATION AND EXTENDED CARE FACILITY

Guilderland Center Rehabilitation and Extended Care Facility, a 127-bed nursing facility that provides rehabilitation and nursing services to patients who require either short- or long-term nursing care following hospitalization, will soon have a new name and brand.

The Grand Healthcare System (Queens, N.Y.), one of New York’s leading healthcare companies, today announced the facility will be renamed to The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Guilderland and will become one of six facilities across the state to be affiliated with The Grand Healthcare System. Other sites include: The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Chittenango, The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Pawling, The The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Queens, The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at River Valley, and The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Rome.

“This is an important day for Guilderland Center Rehabilitation and Extended Care Facility and our organization,” said Jeremy B. Strauss, CEO of The Grand Healthcare System. “Since taking over the reins of this facility in 2014 we have sought to increase levels of care and patient satisfaction and remove the facility from New York’s special focus list. These objectives have been met by making comprehensive staffing upgrades and by investing more than $1 million in renovations to the building’s lobby, common areas, dining room, recreation area, as well as constructing a 2,000-square-foot rehabilitation room with state-of-the-art exercise equipment.”

“Today’s transition to The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Guilderland represents an exciting new chapter in our history,” said The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Guilderland Administrator Josh Gurock, noting that he and his staff are committed to elevating quality and access to care for Capital Region residents. “Under The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing’s leadership we now have a bright future — one where exceptional clinical care is coupled with a luxury experience for guests and their loved ones.”

The rebranding of The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Guilderland will begin with new interior and exterior signage and new uniforms for staff. Guests will also have access to hospitality features offered at other Grand-affiliated properties such as a personalized menu, concierge service, courtesy shuttle service and iPad program to communicate with family and loved ones any time of day or night.
